The Passengers Who Flat-Out Refused to Leave the Cruise Ship
Disembarkation day is a psychological pressure cooker. What happens when you abruptly take away endless buffets and room stewards, and replace them with maritime logistics and endless customs lines? This collection explores the hilarious and bizarre ways human beings react to the sudden end of a vacation. Featuring original narrator commentary that digs into the psychology of denial, sunk-cost fallacies, and routine disruption, these accounts are based on real incidents documented by cruise workers and passengers (with all names and identifying details changed for privacy). It’s a completely unique look at how normal adults regress the moment they have to pack their bags and return to reality.
